Canterbury Workshop

Our class was given a chance to go down to the Canterbury Cathedral to see the process on how they were re-building a window for the cathedral.

As Canterbury Cathedral was one of our options to do our documentary on, we thought it would be good to get a look of what our possible project could be done on.

Unfortunately the day we arrived we weren't allowed in/around much of the cathedral due to there being a wedding, however Helen, our tutor, arranged for us to go to where people are carving wall pieces for the cathedral.

When we got there we was given a tour of what happens and the process they go through with completing stone pieces, as well as health and safety of the area.

We were told to get into groups and film what the people are doing.
I teamed up with Aquila and Aimee.

We filled out a risk assessment before filming and made sure we had consent forms on hand, for people who wouldn't mind filmed.

We was able to get a variety of interesting shots and film one of the workers carving designs into stone.

I feel that we got a variety of shots.

We started with outside ones, for cutaways such as close ups of different stones, ones from the cathedral and new stone they use to carve into and also shots of the building itself for an establishing shot. We then went inside to film some workers carving stone as well as how they transported the stone to the workers and around the workshop.

Overall i'm happy with what we filmed and feel that we got some very good close ups that we used in our video. Aimee edited our video for this workshop, here is our finished video.
